I'm not a fan of the popularization of the "nerd" label for those who are intelligent and prefer higher level social discussions, especially those regarding science. I think the label is limiting and passion for knowledge should be mainstreamed, not stereotyped. But, what do you think? I'd like to know.

@Idoubtit I think the nerd stereotype is more common in US compared to the rest of the world. At least in Europe or Latin America, it is not such a strong phenomenon in my opinion.
